Answer to Question 1

- Determinism: The view that every event, including human actions is brought about by previous events in accordance with universal causal laws that govern the world; human freedom is an illusion.
- Hard determinists believe that every behavior can be traced to a cause, although they may disagree about what those causes are.
- Compatibilism (also called soft determinism): The view that all events, including human actions, are caused. But human actions can only be considered free if they are the result of internal motivations, not the product of external influences or constraints.
